Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me

When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation

Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender

Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Wow. It has been an amazing year. Truly amazing. As I look back, read my previous posts and journal entries, I see God's power at work in my life. And I see His love holding on to me no matter what I've done. Amazingly, I still miss 2006. Ah, my P6 class. And now, 2007 is coming to an end.
2007, more than any year before, has been a year of ups and downs. It's the first year where I have truly rose up to answer His call, and have experienced warfare that you could never imagine. And as I read my journal at the point of time when the prayer group was starting, right there, I see God's faitfulness to the end. "The prayer group is strating up, and I am emotionally exhausted. And yet I press on. I press on because I know my God is with me, and He can move all mountains. I look forward to the day I stand before God and give him a good report on souls brought to His kingdom." And then God brought the prayer group to fulfillment. I thought the worse was over. Boy, was I wrong. For I found myself in the crosshairs of Satan.
All out war broke lose on me, temptations come like a flood, trials and long valleys of darkness. So many times I succumbed. Reading my journal, you can literally see what a state I was in. And yet, God's never,ever let go of me. And out of this period of darkness, some of the most beautiful journal entries(no matter how unfrequent), came out. One of them was on 10/8/07. A 6-point entry on how to overcome sin in your life. And through this, God has been leading me to a more specific call. "With this 6 points, you will break people out of bondages. You shall walk with My power, look straight through people's eyes, and darkness WILL NOT be able to hide. You will lay hands on them, and their bondages will break right there. And this period you went through shall be a testimony for Me." I know God had preplanned this dark moment in my life. For what Satan meant for evil, God turned it around for good. And for the rest of my life, I will look back to this period and say, "Amazing love! How can it be?"
Many more things happened this year. So many, yet all, no matter how bad the situation is, demonstrates what a mighty God we serve. One of the definate highlights was Roy's salvation. I stand in awe till this day of what God could do in Roy's life.
Oh, looking back, God's love still takes my breath away. Amazing love. How can it be? This year has been great. Truly great. But next year will bring even more challenges and trials. God has been reminding me a lot of times to expect spiritual warfare on a scale I have never seen before. Am I scared? Well, I'll be lying if i said I'm not. But God is on my side. Who shall I fear? Can all my mistakes, my trials and persecution, angels and demons, can they seperate me from the love of God? For I am convinced, looking back at this year, that NOTHING can seperate me from the love of God. 2008 will be a year where limits will be nonexistent, where God will bring everyone to a whole new level. I am ready to advance.

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
For all You have done
Hallelujah

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! I'm finally back from overseas, had to leave immediately after camp. Reading all the Ignyters blog posts after camp, I still feel the fire that was ignyted so strongly in BATTLECALL. Camp was awesome. My life is forever changed.
I suppose if I type out in detail everything that happened in camp, it would go on forever. Every moment, I'm sure, God was there with us. And I know He is still moving in all of our lives. And really, there are NO words that can describe what God has done in this camp.
So many moments in the camp that take my breath away. One moment is on the first night, when the hall blacked out. I am sure God planned for that to happen. Cause there at the altar with no lights on, when all the good music faded away, there He starts speaking so clearly. God was moving so powerfully I found myself weeping like never before. You could feel the desperateness build up. And God was speaking so profoundly and I saw this vision. Prayer group in RV on their knees in prayer at the grandstand. Just that the number of people was twice that of the number now. WOW. Now I am still speechless. Even typing now, I feel this burning within me. Man, it's incredible.
Another amazing thing is how God spoke to me on the last night service. As the leaders were getting annointed by PGC, God spoke to me in my group. "I will send you into tough circumstances, and to the ends of this earth. Will you go?" "Only by your annointing." And I got on my knees and let the consuming fire burn in me. And really, I sense this annointing, as if God was pouring the annointing oil on me. A burning I never felt. A burning I want to bring back to my school.
And God's anthem ringing out through the camp. And Ignyte marching as one army into the chapel. Every moment, God was bringing us to another level. To another level.
And now I know, no matter how many times I've succumbed, God will use me mightily. He will rise me up to be a history maker. Man, I really cannot describe this camp. Let's advance into this new year with the fire of God still burning, as history makers into our schools. The battlecall has rung. The mission bell is ringing. Will we answer it?

And I will go
Wherever You lead
I will follow
And I have counted the cost
I will carry the cross
So take my hands
All that I have they are Yours
And You have laid out my course
I will live for this cause

This will be my last post for a long long time...Won't be updating for probably 2 more weeks. So so so excited. Argh.
IH outing was super duper duper fun. WOOHOO. Especially oswyn. The game we were playing...you were suppose to say "sa4" as in "kill!" and "sa4 fan3" as in "reject kill!!" Then oswyn was like saying "fan sa" and everything wrong. He got wrong like 8 times so he had to forfeit and he got to slap Sis Kim!! Well, even though it was an extremely fun time, it was a great time fellowshipping with each other, sharing testimonies and edifying each other. Fun fun fun.
SP empowerment today. It was so amazing. Yup, I did fall asleeps for one section. It was so tiring. Mainly because of the games. Lol, my group. They all passed message from "see the things unseen" to "salute goodness and hate evil". Dunno who starting saluting. And Bro Andy pushed my entire line on the floor. I did kick him quite hard. But still. The last part was so amazing. You know, their times when you feel a nudging or a little stirring in your spirit. Well, today was real stirring. As God stirred up a passion for His name for the leaders, you start to feel something break. It is so amazing.
And yet, I have faith it is nothing to compared to what God will do in "Battlecall". I have faith that it won't just be a stirring, but will transform into a blizzard, a tornado, a hurricane for God. I believe we will see God moving like never before, and bring annointing like has never been experienced before. What did you journal down for your expectations? Have faith God will meet them. I can't describe what I believe God will do in the camp and what will become of me. No one will live this camp the same, and I'm sure of that. And we need to do is pursue Him. I sense He is about to bring out over IGNYTE ministry, pouring forth His blessings that we wouldn't be able to contain it.
Do you feel it stirring inside? The Battlecall is sounding. The mission bell is ringing. A call that God is ringing out "ADVANCE!!" I am ready to go. Are you?

Consuming fire, fan into flame, a passion for Your name

I was rummaging through my huge pile of draft posts in my blogger account. All the things I were trying to post, but failed somehow. Then I stumbled upon this draft which suddenly struck me hard. I was going to post it 2mths ago but stopped after just a few sentences. Let it speak to you.
Two months ago, during the monthly communion. I still remember it really clearly, the symbolic thing that happen. Nope, not the actual thing of drinking the cup, but something that happen out of coincidence. I was holding the bread and the cup, listening to the pastor speak. And then, something I still find amazing happened. Holding the bread, and accidentally crushed it. It was like broken, almost in a few pieces. And then this voice in me rang, "He was crushed for you." A crushed bread, a crushed body of Jesus Christ.
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isiah 53:5
Sometimes we take Jesus's death for granted. It's time that we realised, how violent his death was, how much pain he suffered just for you. Yup, I believe He had you in mind when he died. He was crushed for us, and by his stripes we are healed. Now, I watched The Passion of the Christ, and really, it was so touching I literally cried when watching. But I love the scene, when he was being whipped, that when he was on the floor, he got up again to take the whippings full force. Why? Cause every whip that he took, your brokenness disappeared. Every whip that he took, your sickness disappeared. Every whip that he took, your chains disappeared. BY HIS STRIPES, WE ARE HEALED. Oh, how amazing is that. When I think i would never break free, I am reminded, by His stripes we are healed.
Why do you think it's called "The Passion of the Christ"? He is so passionate about you, and you alone. He loves you so much. Let it soak in. He loves you.

Amazing love, how can it be? That You my King should die for me. Amazing love, I know it's true. It's my joy to honour you, in all I do.

SP course was, I dare say, life-changing. Just a 3-days crash course, and yet the seeds planted will bear fruit for eternity. Not only skills, but a new passion for His name and the world. Haha. Now the testimonies and bridge-illustration comes as second nature to me. It was real fun, and yet, amazing. So many funny moments, so many moments that really take my breath away. Would i go again if I had the change with my future SBs? I mean, I'll be dumb if I don't. Amazing course.
Especially the Street E. I will never forget the night before Street E. How amazing it is, that us, people who are by no means powerful, could stand upright against the enemy, whom could only cower before us at the sound of Jesus's name. Know your spiritual authority in God and do not hesistate to use it. For the victory is already His.
Actual Street E was really tiring. Haha. Got rejected quite a lot of times. In fact, I got rejected almost all the time. Bro Andy said, "Get use to rejection. Out of 10 people, you might only get 1 person." "We just spoke to 20 ppl and got no one." "Haha. Then aim for 40 lor." Really true. But that day, I really did sense Mark 13:11 working in every SP who was on the battle zone. Why should we be afraid when He is now in us? And as I looked at everyone on the streets, going about their daily life, I see their need for Jesus. Do you? What do you see?
Proof that what I learnt is beginning to grow: Last Saturday for the first time in FTV reception room I told my testimony. Me and Shana were quite fluent you know, in bridge-illustration and so forth. Look forward to the day we'll able to touch a FTV to tears.
This course has reignyted a fire which was once flickering. Let us all rise up to answer the battle call God has issued and step into battle formations. History-makers, rise up, rise up. For now is the time.
